Watch Horror Movies and Burn Those Calories

Well, now this is the kind of diet that I do like. Did you know that by spending approximately 90 minutes watching a good horror movie you could easily burn up to 184 calories? That is what the experts are saying.

Watch Horror Movies and Burn Those Calories

The study, by The University of Westminster measured how much energy was used up when watching a mixed bag of scary movies. 10 people were used in the study. Their heart rate, oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output were all measured whilst they suffered these frightening experiences. The calories used up increased by a 3rd on average whilst they watched the films. The best movies to watch apparently are those that will make the viewer ‘jump’ with fright as these caused the heart rate to rise dramatically.

Do you want to know the top 10-calorie burning movies, as used in the study? Well, starting at number one at the top of the chart:

Jenny, Alien and Blair Witch Project certainly do have their calorie-burning scary moments! Those are the only two films which I’ve seen on the top 10 list.
